Quentin Tarantino’s Charles Manson-era movie will no longer debut on the anniversary of the brutal 1969 murders – a scheduling switch cheered by Sharon Tate’s sister.

Sony Pictures announced the date change Wednesday, saying the movie titled “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” will be released on July 26, 2019 – two weeks earlier than originally planned.

“It makes me very happy to know that perhaps people are actually beginning to pay attention to the fact that they need to have a little respect for the victims that they are depicting,” Debra Tate told The News on Wednesday.

Debra said she received no advance notice of the date change but hopes it will stick. She previously blasted the production as “tasteless” for scheduling the movie’s release on the exact 50-year anniversary of her sister’s Aug. 9, 1969 death at age 26.

The movie is set against the backdrop of the vicious murder spree that started when Manson’s followers brutally butchered Tate and four others in the Los Angeles house she shared with her director husband Roman Polanski.

“I don’t know Miss Robbie, but I have very high hopes,” Debra told The News.

She previously expressed disapproval over the potential casting of other actresses in the role of her sister.

On the first night of his two-day reign of terror back in 1969, Manson directed Charles Watson — whom he met through Beach Boys co-founder Dennis Wilson — to take followers Susan Atkins, Linda Kasabian and Patricia Krenwinkel to a house in the hills above Hollywood and slaughter everyone there.
